The 50th edition of Top Rope Nation is a big one as we are joined by Ring of Honor star Flip Gordon. Ryan sits down with Flip to talk about growing up a wrestling fan and how he went about getting into the wrestling business, getting signed by ROH and a fast rise through the ranks, heading to Japan for the first time to work NJPW, the difference between working the U.S. and Japan, Flip's favorite matches, getting cast on Being the Elite, Flip's WWE dream opponents, and so much more.

We turned on the microphones immediately following WWE SmackDown as Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn gave Shane McMahon an epic beatdown. This lead to the logical question: does this mean Daniel Bryan is actually going to wrestle at WrestleMania 34? Ryan, Kyle, and Joe (subbing for Justin this week) are here to debate a possible Bryan in-ring return. We also discuss John Cena's epic promo from RAW, why the Fabulous Moolah is a TERRIBLE namesake for the women's battle royal at WrestleMania and much, much more.

Just before we began recording this week's show, all hell broke loose in the wrestling world. Ryan, Justin, and Kyle are here to talk about the fallout from this week's NXT tapings (a new belt and an awesome ladder match), Rey Mysterio's injury, Albert Del Rio's possible return, WWE Fastlane picks, and much more.

We're back to discuss an absolutely insane week in the world of professional wrestling. From WWE Elimination Chamber, to Brock Lesnar's "no show" at RAW, to the freight train that is Braun Strowman, and of course Roman Reigns, we're here to break it all down. A fun show that will leave you wanting more!
